journal My racks and shrimp collection

[matblack]

They're crazy beautiful......:applause: Do the PRL's produce 100% PRL shrimplets ?

BB clearly means what % are culls and keepers :encouragement: They are Awesome Alvin (St George Dragons Shrimp) Love the net Thankyou very much

[BlueBolts]

Yes, thanks Matblack :encouragement:....and to ninja :p

Alvin, If your PRL quality shrimplet ratio is say 7:3 (unsure whether you know the F generation of them), I'm curious as to whether a F10+ PRL will produce 100% PRL quality shrimplet ?

[ninja]

Thanks for clarifying that guys, I was starting to think BB was losing it, instead it's me???

Thanks for your compliments Mat...I like to use that net too.. Haha..

Yes' date=' thanks Matblack :encouragement:....and to ninja :pAlvin, If your PRL quality shrimplet ratio is say 7:3 (unsure whether you know the F generation of them), I'm curious as to whether a F10+ PRL will produce 100% PRL quality shrimplet ?[/quote']I am pretty sure that you won't get 100% high grades even in F10.. I try not to do 'line breeding' where you will breed based on their generations.. (Not enough tanks.. Haha) There are bound to have some which are not good with bad colorations... That's why it is expensive..Each breeder of PRL takes time and effort to choose the traits they want in their lineage and carefully breed them.. I have been in awe when I visit big time breeders overseas.. 2 main faculty is mass breeder & quality breeder..LOL.....

Taking a break from the recent hectic work and family commitment.. It has been a long week for me..

Rushing work which I have been neglecting due to my newborn..

Spent sometime 'camping' in front my my tanks to take photos of my Pure Black Line.. It has been so long since I have been able to take a decent photo of them.. This time... With a tripod and equipped with the Canon 30D and macro lens... Here I go.. Enjoy and hope you guys don't mind the shabby shots..

Tasting on Lowkeys B18 Power Protein.

Mama taking some shade..

More improvement to go.. Another long way...

That's all for now folks.. Happy shrimping and hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.. Check out my blog for more updates.. :)
